I've done fairly extensive searching, but I can't seem to find any recent, in depth analysis of whether a normal user will notice any real performance boost running a crossfire setup in x16 link vs x8.
I ask because I'm building a new system, and although I'm not planning on going xfire initially, I likely will when the 4850 cards go dirt cheap in the far future, and I'm trying to decide if I need to get:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128336
or if I should save some $$$ and just go with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131299
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
